Process Engineer - Simulation and Conceptual Design
About The Position
Utility Global is seeking a Process Engineer to develop, validate, and maintain process simulation models supporting the design, optimization, and continuous improvement of its H2Gen® system. Reporting to the Vice President of Engineering, this role evaluates process concepts, develops heat and material balances, and assesses performance and energy efficiency in support of business development, proposals, and conceptual engineering. The position also provides simulation and process design support for project execution, troubleshooting, and plant operations as needed. The engineer will conduct process simulations, conceptual studies, and techno-economic evaluations; develop conceptual process designs and engineering deliverables; and support technical proposals, client discussions, and project execution. The role may also provide support during plant commissioning, startup, and operational troubleshooting. Travel of up to 20% is required.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering.
- 5–10 years of experience in a process-related industry providing process design and support, preferably in industrial gas, LNG, refinery, or petrochemical industries.
- In-depth knowledge of process engineering and industrial plant design or unit operations.
- Strong understanding of engineering principles and fundamentals, with the ability to adapt prior knowledge to new applications and technologies.
- Understanding of hydrocarbon technologies such as reforming and partial oxidation, and hydrogen production technologies such as electrolysis, thermochemical processes, or solid oxide technologies.
- Expertise in process engineering simulation software such as Aspen Plus, HYSYS, UniSim, ProMax, or VMG.
- Proven experience developing and optimizing process designs.
- Demonstrated project management and leadership skills.
- Experience working in a high-growth, fast-paced environment.
- Excellent problem-solving, decision-making, and leadership skills.
- Effective communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders and senior management.
- Ability to travel up to 20%.
Responsibilities
- Perform rigorous process simulations and optimizations using ProMax to evaluate and improve process efficiency, operability, and economic performance.
- Execute conceptual studies and techno-economic evaluations for internal decision-making and projects.
- Benchmark Utility’s technology and evaluate competing or new technologies.
- Support Business Development in understanding customer requirements and developing process designs.
- Develop and use in-house simulations and tools to generate conceptual process designs for customers.
- Define execution options and conduct trade-offs based on efficiency, capital expenditure, operating expenditure, and economics.
- Support the Technical Proposal Manager in developing technical proposals for clients.
- Prepare technical content for proposals, client presentations, and commercial discussions, including insights into technology and process design competitiveness.
- Develop engineering deliverables, including Basis of Design, Process Flow Diagrams, heat and material balances, equipment sizing, and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams.
- Support projects during front-end loading (FEL) phases.
- Provide support during plant commissioning, startup, and operational troubleshooting to help clients maximize unit performance and reliability.
